The film tells the story of Jack Torrance, a writer who takes his wife and children to take a job as a winter janitor in a hotel in search of inspiration, and is driven crazy by visions.

Writer Jack Torrance decided to take over the luxury mountain hotel in search of inspiration and escape from work frustrations. It was rumored that the previous manager of the Mountain Hotel had inexplicably lost his mind and committed suicide after brutally killing his entire family. Jack Torrance, who was dedicated to writing, took a fancy to the remote seclusion of the hotel, and decided to live in this luxury hotel with his wife Wendy and son Danny, despite the advice of his friend Tony. They made new plans in their new home, and Jack also designed a lounge dedicated to his creations.

Despite their good plans, Jack was unable to concentrate on writing after moving into his new home, and he began to go in and out of restaurants, bars and other places, and all kinds of fantasies kept appearing in his brain, bloody and real. Jack also sees the ghost of the previous administrator, who constantly tricks Jack into killing his wife and son. His wife, Wendy, undoubtedly saw Jack's manuscript paper and began to pay attention to Jack, and Wendy found that the increasingly abnormal Jack made people feel inexplicably frightened.

At this point, misfortune strikes again, and Wendy finds that their son is becoming more and more confused. When Wendy picks up the radio, Jack is so fierce that he not only breaks the radio, but also destroys the snowmobile, killing Tony, who comes to visit them, and raises a crazy axe at his wife and son.

The original "The Shining" is highly praised in terms of horror films.

There have been comments that there are not many scenes of real bloody violence in "The Shining", but it makes people feel frightened, the real horror lies in the psychology, although the tone of the whole film is bright, but when you see the whole hotel, whether it is the whole or the part, the hall, the corridor, the labyrinth, from time to time ooze an eerie and terrifying atmosphere. In addition, the music and exciting rhythm also add a lot to the film.

A month later, the land of China has passed the painful period of 'temporary'.

Even in May, when everything gives way, there are still nearly 20 movies released, so there are even more in June.

On June 16, "The Shining" was officially released worldwide.

This version of "The Shining" still continues the original atmosphere, and even improves, and the loopholes of the original version have been made up.

How to say that the progress in the past 30 years, both in terms of layout and production, has been significantly improved.

Predictable......

"The Shining" has been released and quickly became popular around the world.

"DreamWorks horror master Liu Zhiyuan, the masterpiece "The Shining" horror is coming, this time getting rid of the blood, violence, plasma, dismemberment and other horror elements of "Saw Horror". The psychological shaping of "The Shining" is even more incomparable. It's hard to think of a horror movie from China with such a wonderful plot. - Film Critic.

"I personally think it's even more terrifying than "Chainsaw", I may be scared for a day watching "Chainsaw", but "The Shining" has made it difficult for me to adapt for a long time, and the psychological horror shaping ......is incomparable" - netizen.

Almost all of them are praises on the market, even for picky fans, after seeing it, they also feel admired.

"A writer, an ancient house, and an unexpected but reasonable accident have made "The Shining" a success, and its charm lies largely in the blankness and uncertainty of the meaning of the plot, which derives the horror in the audience's emotional experience. -- NetEase Review.

Speaking of which, "The Shining" is not only a horror film in the ordinary sense, but also a movie with deep connotations.

The high praise of netizens and filmmakers also came from this.

If it weren't for the name of horror films, such a work could have won an award.

The original version of "The Shining" was not nominated for an Oscar at the time, which puzzled many people.

"Sure enough, it is a movie that Brother Meng participated in editing, aside from the terrifying atmosphere, its depth surpasses many movies. It's not hard to imagine a classic movie appearing. Sometimes I am glad that there is a director like Brother Meng in my country. -- Netizen.

"Actually, right? I'm talking about a person, Liu Zhiyuan. What everyone knew about him before was Brother Meng's puppet. Now I don't think so, a director who continues to create classics can never be as simple as a puppet. It was revealed that "The Shining" was successfully created by director Liu Zhiyuan and many well-known horror film screenwriters, and since then, Brother Meng has a guiding role. Director Liu Zhiyuan has proven his worth with three films, and his uniqueness in horror films has nowhere else in China. I heard that Brother Meng once jokingly called Liu Zhiyuan the future Chinese horror master, and now I want to say that director Liu Zhiyuan has become famous and deserves it. -- Netizen.

"The Shining" received more than 6 million box office in China on the first day, sweeping away the recent sluggish momentum of the domestic box office.

Although it can't catch up with "Chainsaw", which has become a horror giant.

However, it is rare to have such a box office on the first day.

In North America, "The Shining" cut a box office of $4.71 million on the first day, and interviews learned that many people have said that they are coming for Liu Zhiyuan's name, and it is not simply Wang Meng's reputation.

Europe. "The Shining" took a total of $5.19 million at the box office, especially this kind of film, which seems to be very much in line with European appetites. Therefore, the European film industry, which has always been famous for its tricks, has high praise for "The Shining".

Asian Japan won more than 3 million US dollars at the box office on the first day, and many Japanese fans praised it: "No less than the horror films of "Midnight Bell" and "Gacocon". ā€

"The Shining" is worthy of Wang Meng's expectations for it, and the global box office on the first day is nearly $20 million.

A week later, when the popularity reached Dengfeng, the global box office also reached nearly $60 million.

Such an achievement not only surprised many foreign fans, but also found it incredible by domestic media.

But when you think about it, it seems that this should be the case, how long have you forgotten? Horror films like "Chainsaw" are no longer a small fight in China, and they have always won high box office and praise internationally.

Originally, the media thought that "Saw Horror" was an accident. Nowadays, horror films have become a symbol of low cost, short production period, and high box office, especially DreamWorks horror films.

It also leads to many foreign countries who know little about DreamWorks, and always think that DreamWorks is a company specializing in horror movies.

Domestic film and television companies and the media are puzzled at the same time, and at the same time, they have reflected?

"Isn't horror movies a sign of making money?"

After thinking about it, I came to the conclusion: "Is it so, horror movies are indeed the benchmark for making money......?

"But! only at DreamWorks!"

Does DreamWorks make less money? Nothing can be compared?

This kind of thinking has led many domestic media and film and television companies to reflect, why is this?

An exposition by a hardcore DreamWorks film critic made everyone's eyes shine, Xia Liyan pointed out: -

"The success of "The Shining" is another success of DreamWorks rather than the success of excellence. Anyone who knows DreamWorks knows that from Wang Meng to every employee in its company, their style has always been to keep improving, cheating money and fooling the audience never exists, and it is impossible to withdraw after taking a handful.

When "This Man is from Earth", Wang Meng succeeded, and the box office was small and large. In general, according to the thinking of many companies...... Continue to do this, continue to make small budget or even rough production, and withdraw after fishing for a few movies. Ordinary companies will think like this, after all, with the fame of "This Man is from Earth", it is indeed possible to make another profit.

However, Wang Meng didn't, even if he knew that such a movie made money, he didn't use the mentality of making money to deceive the audience, but kept innovating and striving for excellence.

In fact, everyone knows that after Wang Meng's "This Man ......", we have seen more than a dozen, following the trend of 'soft science fiction' under the banner of Wang Meng. What do you think?

Later, everyone knew that in addition to the success of one or two themes, the other purely nonsense money-making behaviors also led to the end of a good theme.

Later, Wang Meng's "You at the Same Table" created the youth campus genre, and after that, Wang Meng still kept improving, while some of our producers still followed the trend to make money, and slowly this theme was about to be played badly.

These two examples can be refracted that DreamWorks has always been striving for excellence with an attitude worthy of movie fans, and has always relied on creativity to win and conscience, even if there are many opportunities to make money, they don't do it?

Now it's in exchange for a benchmark for DreamWorks products.

If you add the subject matter, it will be another "The Shining"

I advise some film and television companies that now is the era of creativity and the emergence of high-quality products, and it is no longer advisable to expect to make money and leave, so it is better to take high-quality movies seriously. ā€
